The US energy policy as developed by Congress is just more piggies at the trough.

Face it, Congress has no clue nor care about what happens to us. There focus is every 2 or 6 yrs, they need to get re-elected.

Pass the beer nuts.

Hi,

I toally agree with Bruce on these views. Congress has become an Exclusive Club with their primary concern being to insure their own re-election.

The ONLY solution to this Madness, without exception, is to Vote out the Encumbant. Vote for the Challenger, no matter who they may be. Put an end to this practice of making a Career at the Public Trough and return to the ideal of Citizen Statesmen.

If this is done through several election cycles, Special Interest Groups, Lobbyists and Corporate Contributions will Dry-Up as their money will cease to have any influence, they will no longer be able to Woo and Groom Freshman Senators and Congressmen for what average to be decades on the Hill for them to do their bidding, instead of that of the Electorate.

And, before anyone posts the arguement about seasoned policians, take a good look, could a Senate or House full of Rookies do any worse?

If this policy was followed, these people wishing to be in the Senate or the House will quickly re-learn for whom they are actually working - US!

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
